The reason why the FP sold for so much — relative to its small output — is because it has a world view that is embraced by a readership of very wealthy people. Weiss isn't anti-establishment. She comforts the comfortable.

I know political memories are short, but damn! In July, Schiff joined Republicans to pass the industry-friendly crypto bill that allowed Trump to take in more crypto bribes.
While Americans are struggling with higher prices, the President is focused on enriching himself and his family.
You look at this and have to ask yourself – is there any level of corruption so egregious that Republicans would call it out?
Evidently not.

As an historian, I think it's bad when "blood libel" goes from denoting a very specific part of anti-Jewish history rooted in particular forms of medieval Christian anti-Judaism, to just meaning any criticism of Israel. A whole generation won't understand just how bad the actual blood libel was!
